Chapter 229 Choosing a Woman
Rachel didn't know whether to cry or to laugh. "Why do you ask me to attend your family dinner? You should call Anna, right? "
"Don't mention her. All of us don't like her. Why did I ask her to come here? It's a bummer! " Amanda complained on the other end of the phone.
Rachel restrained her smile and calmly refused, "I just joined the crew today and have to shoot in the evening. I'm afraid I won't be able to have dinner with your family today."
Hearing this, Amanda asked in a hurry, "the casting group? Where are you shooting? "
"It's in the suburb, far away. Don't come. Well, the director called me. We can talk next time! " Then Rachel hung up the phone quickly.
As soon as she turned around, she saw the displeasure on Bruce's face. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Rachel put the phone in Mindy's hand and said, "I'll be shooting in the crew in the future. Can you find a way to refuse such a call for me?"
Mindy nodded.
In the Ji family's house.
After hanging up the phone, Amanda said to her grandfather in a pitiful tone, "Grandpa, it's a pity that Rachel can't come to our house for dinner. It's her first day to work in the filming group. It's not appropriate to ask for leave. she has to shoot in the evening."
As she spoke, Amanda glanced at Clark from the corner of her eyes.
Clark was sitting on the sofa, with his IPAD in his hand.
He turned a deaf ear to Amanda's words and remained calm.
Peter sighed and said, "it seems that Rachel works too hard. I wanted to discuss with her about her grandfather's meeting with her, but now it seems that I can't even meet her! "
A cunning light flashed through Amanda's eyes. She stepped forward and held Peter's arm. "Grandpa, since she can't come, you have such an important thing to talk to her. How about we go to see her?"
Peter's eyes lit up and they looked at each other.
"Yes," said Peter, patting his head. "I'm so old. She can't get out. I can go in! Chester doesn't dare to refuse me. Bruce is the favorite disciple of Elijah, and he doesn't dare to stop me, does he? "
"Grandpa is so smart!" Amanda almost jumped up and said excitedly, "tonight, we'll bring Rachel some night snack!"
At this time, Clark finally put down his IPAD. He glanced coldly at the excited people in front of him and said unhappily, "Amanda, you are not young anymore. How can you ask grandpa to do such a risky thing?"
Seeing that the blockhead finally reacted, Amanda rested her hands on her hips and asked impatiently, "we are just going to see Rachel. What's the danger?"
"The film set is in the countryside, a barren mountain. You take grandpa there at midnight. If you meet something, you can run away. What about Grandpa?" Clark said with a straight face.
Hearing this, Peter's eyebrows were almost knotted. He said unconvinced, "Clark, do you think grandpa is old? I'm old and ambitious. I can still do whatever I want for a few years! "
Clark said indifferently, "I'll go there for you. If you have anything to tell her, just tell me. It's late at night. You don't have to bother yourself. "
Amanda opened her mouth wide in astonishment. She didn't expect that her elder brother, who had always been shrewd, was willing to step into their trap?
However, to her surprise, Peter waved his hand vigorously and said, "forget it. You will only piss Rachel off if you go there. Last time I went to her studio with you, but you had a big quarrel with her at the door. If I don't follow you, I'm afraid you'll beat her! "
Clark's face darkened.
How could he be so mean to his grandson?
As if hearing some breaking news, Amanda asked, "Grandpa, do you say he had a fight with Rachel last time? they are not a couple. Why should they quarrel? "
Clark's face was as cold as ice.
Peter laughed "Yes, Amanda is right. They are not a couple. Why did he have to quarrel with her?"
"Grandpa, I have explained everything to you." Clark asked coldly.
However, Peter didn't care much about it. He waved his hand and said, "that's one thing and one thing. You really don't have a close relationship with her. Even if she refuses to shoot your advertisement, you shouldn't be angry from embarrassment. You are just a man. How can you argue with a woman? "
Clark was speechless.
At this time, Lucas and Penny went downstairs. When they heard the conversation between the two, they could not help but look at each other.
"Father, which woman did Clark quarrel with?" Penny asked curiously.
Lucas also frowned and said, "according to his character, Clark should not quarrel with others, but try to kill her, right?"
Well, the color drained from Clark's face.
Amanda giggled, covering her mouth.
Clark glared at her, stood up and walked to the dining room.
Peter also stood up and sighed, "who else could it be? Of course it's Rachel. I want to recognize her as my goddaughter. "
Lucas said "Dad, if you want her to be your granddaughter, just admit it. You like her anyway, and Amanda is her best friend. We have no objection."
"You don't have a problem with it," said Peter with a sneer. "But your son has a problem with it."
Lucas frowned, "why doesn't Clark agree? Didn't he have no feelings for her? "
Penny also nodded and said, "don't you have a fiancee? Clark Why don't you let your grandfather have a granddaughter? "
Clark sat down at the table, spread out the napkin and said disapprovingly, "she doesn't have a grandfather? Does she need your help? "
Lucas and Penny looked at each other. The two of them didn't know much about the background of Rachel. They only knew that she was an orphan and didn't take her seriously when they saw that Clark was not sad for her.
As for the love of Peter and Amanda for Rachel, they just thought that they were loving a star, so they didn't think she would be their future daughter-in-law at all.
"Ahem," Lucas sat down and said to Peter, "Dad, you are too impatient. Since she has a grandpa, you can ask her first."
Peter kept silent.
The family ate quietly until the end.
Everyone had their own thoughts.
Peter and Amanda] were trying to make a match between Clark and Rachel.
In particular, Peter believed in "Mianxiang". From people' faces predicting their future and character
The fortune teller had told him that Rachel had the face to thrive her husband and son, so he was more determined to let Clark marry Rachel for the sake of the Ji clan.
Although the Ji group didn't need a woman to help, the Ji family needed a woman to take care of the backyard.
The longer Peter spent time with Rachel, the more he liked her from the bottom of his heart.
But Lucas and his wife didn't think so. They believed that as a big family, if their children really wanted to get married, they must unite strongly. The best state should be to marry a big family.
As for their relationship, they didn't care much.
Clark, in particular, was a man. It didn't matter if he was fickle in love. Anyway, he wouldn't suffer losses. But when it came to marriage, they must be careful.
That was also the reason why they didn't let Anna in. The Bai family regretted their marriage at that time, but it was just an excuse for them to refuse the marriage.
When the couple went back to their room, Penny couldn't wait to ask, "do you think that Clark really likes Rachel?"
"No, he won't," said Lucas, waving his hand. "He's still young and doesn't know what kind of woman he needs, so it's normal for him to fall in love with someone. There's no need to be so nervous."
Penny sighed and said, "if it's really what you said, I won't worry about it."
"Marriage is a matter that needs parents' approval. It was hard to say who would be the future daughter-in-law! But you can also pay attention to which family's daughter is suitable for him when you are free now. " Said Lucas flatly.
Penny frowned and asked, "what should we do with Anna?"
